Quantitative Analysis on the Spatial Configuration of Korean Apartment Complexes

抄録

The objective of this research is to investigate the periodic changes in external spatial configuration of Korean apartment complexes and their planning concepts with quantitative spatial analysis methodology, for the purpose of comparatively analyzing the results with the relevant social, economic climate of its period. Based on the axial map analysis method, we established a spatial configuration analysis model of apartment complexes by setting the relevant analysis indices and criteria for periodic, spatial classification. One-way ANOVA was applied to the periodical indices of integration and PD for each spatial component, and then the periodical mean values of the indices for each spatial component were calculated to make comparisons across the periods. The results revealed that differing planning initiatives according to each period were not only reflected in the spatial configuration of the apartments in their entirety, but that it was also possible to extract key elements in planning which made up the apartments in that particular period.
